Just an advanced warning, any link from kybobcat or wildcatdon is probably nsfw and potentially illegal.

Keep it above 18, fellas.

apparently this hobbit blew his brains out on liquor and powder starting in the late 70s after he'd made - in my estimation - the most unlikely of major accomplishments like writing number one hits, starring in tv shows, being a regular on johnny carson, etc.

Anything religious is always interesting. There are tons of those on netflix.
The Wolfpack is a doc that came out this year that's pretty bizarre.
Stories we tell is a very well done documentary. I wouldn't call it weird though.

Capturing the Friedmans
Grizzly Man

Capturing the Friedmans is good.

Here is one that the entire board will love.



This is the guy that wrote Boondock Saints and was a bartender (I think) and was given an insane deal of writing, directing, casting, soundtrack, full control and over a million dollars. You watch this guy come from nothing, get the big head, treat people like ****, lose everything, and fail.

The funny thing is, he sold his rights to this company just to get the movie released. When it became a cult classic and sold a ton of DVDs, he got none of the money from it.

I really wish I did not look up this case and trailer after you mentioned it. Depressing as hell especially me as a father of 2 little boys.

You think it's rough reading about it..... Try watching it.

And I didnt know what was coming. I mean, I knew something was coming, but wasnt prepared for it.

I wanted to drive to Canada and murder some fools.

I think I was the one who brought "Dear Zachary" up originally. It devestated my now wife who was a foster care social worker for medically fragile children at the time.

I'm watching a Hulu Plus series called "The Unknown War." It is World War II from the Russian perspective. We only get WWII from the West's perspective in the media.. Russia took Germany down much more so than did the Western Armies. Hitler's goal was not just to conquer Russia. He planned to annihilate most of the Russian people.
